NEW DELHI (Reuters) - His hands protected by torn orange gloves, Dalbira Singh has a grim job scraping waste from train toilets from the tracks at New Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin station, a few minutes from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's office.

Like an estimated 1 million other Indians, Singh does the work because he was born into a low caste. His parents did the same work before him.
